2.7 Insert the ChemStation/MassHunter methods for the DIP
Note: You can find all the folders with the default methods on the disc enclosed.
2.7.1 5975 MSD: ChemStation methods
1. Copy the folders “DIP_EI_Q1” and “DIP_CI_Q1” into the methods section of the MSD
ChemStation under “Programme\MSDChem\1\Methods”.
2. optional (with autosampler):
Copy the folders “Injection_GC” and “Injection_DIP” into the methods section of the
MSD ChemStation.
2.7.2 7000 Triple Q MS/MS: MassHunter methods
1. Copy the folders “DIP_EI_Scan.M” (and possibly “DIP_CI_Scan.M”) into the methods
section of the MassHunter software under “MassHunter\GCMS\1\Methods”.
2. optional (with autosampler):
Copy the macros (cycles) “DIP-Liquid-Inj.cyx” and “DIP-Solid-Inj.cyx” into the PAL
section under “MassHunter\GCMS\1\PALDATA”.
2.8 Adjustment of the CombiPAL to the MS-DIP System (optional)
1. Define two new DIP positions for a precise co-operation of PAL and DIP (see DIP-
PAL Manual 6.4.3).
2. Create a macro and a new method in the Cycle Composer Software of the
autosampler (see DIP Manual 6.4.4 and 6.4.5) or copy the files of the folder “Cycle
Composer” into
”C:\Programs\PAL\Cycle Composer\Combi PAL”.
2.9 Push rod performance test
1. Select the method “drive.dip” in the DIP-Software and click“OK”.
2. Check the correct insertion of the push rod into the MSD ion source and the
operational sequence backwards in real and even at the status display of the
software.
3. Select the method “heat.dip” in the DIP-Software and click “OK”. The push rod is
inserted into the ion source and heated up to 400 °C. This temperature is maintained
for 1 minute.
4. Check the correct temperature run via the status display.
2.10 Tuning of the DIP-MS System
2.10.1 Autotune 5975 MSD with DIP
1. Verify that the system has been pumping down for at least 2-4 hours and that the DIP
controller is turned on. The DIP push rod status is “Ready”.
2. In the “Instrument Control view”, select “Perform MS Autotune” from the instrument
menu.
The software will perform an autotune and print out the report.
